This way, not only can Hu Maoshen be rendered speechless, unable to express his grievances, but the Third Prince can also be dealt with.
Even if there's no evidence of the Third Prince amassing troops, with so much Silver in hand, he must have embezzled quite a bit before. Even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't clear his name. It might just be that he hasn't started raising troops yet!
As for Song Shuqing, that was merely an illusion technique used by the Eldest Prince. It's highly likely that Song Shuqing had already betrayed the Eldest Prince, causing him to discard him without hesitation.
Could Xia Qing possibly be involved in this? Is Guo Shi a man of the Eldest Prince or Xia Qing?
With so few clues, Gu Chengyu had to put down this question. However, one thing he was sure of was that Guo Shi would not live long; his role was limited, and he was merely a discarded pawn.
Yet, this person could be of use to him. Moreover, for him, this was a very important figure.
